Excellent service
Pros:

The hotel is in a perfect location, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

Cons:

I’m very sensitive to light and struggled to sleep with the blue USB indicator light next to the bed. It would be great if there were an option to switch the light off or available small blackout stickers to cover the indicator lights at night. Otherwise I had no real complaints. :D
